Trump has indicated he would like to keep limits on nuclear weapons but wants to involve China in a potential new treaty. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated that China should be involved in a potential new nuclear treaty. AP correspondent Laurence Brooks reports on urgent talks between the U.S. and Russia on the expiration of their new nuclear arms pact.
Even as New START expired, the U.S. and Russia agreed Thursday to reestablish high-level, military-to-military dialogue following a meeting between senior officials from both sides in Abu Dhabi, the U.S. military command in Europe said. In September, Putin offered to keep the New START’s limits for another year to buy time for both sides to negotiate a successor agreement. But the Kremlin also emphasized it wasn’t withdrawing from the pact altogether, pledging to respect its caps on nuclear weapons. New START restricted each side to no more than 1,550 nuclear warheads on no more than 700 missiles and bombers deployed and ready for use. New START, signed in 2010 by then-President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, was the last of a long series of agreements between Moscow and Washington to limit their nuclear arsenals, starting with SALT I in 1972. The monitoring network registered all of North Korea’s six nuclear tests, but it’s unable to detect very low-yield supercritical nuclear tests conducted underground in metal chambers, experts say.
In just the first five days of February, the city of Aberdeen has also recorded more than their usual monthly rainfall. Many places, including Exeter Airport, have recorded rainfall every single day this year. “I know there were a small number of dry days at the end of last year but to be honest it feels like it’s been raining since October.” “It’s been raining for so long. There have been dry moments on some days – but every single day this year has had rain,” she said. And it is more of the same on Saturday, with heavy showers lashing the south in the morning, before gradually pushing up into Wales and the Midlands. Another band of rain in the South West will travel northwards on Friday with heavy bursts, he added.
“Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza and you deliver every time he tells you http://mikulcickyluh.brontosaurus.cz/wordpress/?p=315388 to go after James Comey, Letitia James, Lisa Cook and Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve Board, and members of Congress,” he said. “You’ve turned the people’s Department of Justice into Trump’s instrument of revenge,” Raskin said. “Please do not waste one second of our precious time by evading questions, by changing the subject, or engaging in personal attacks against members of Congress,” Raskin said to Bondi. “President Trump has given us the resources, the support and the leadership to protect the American people. President Trump’s policies have saved lives. I cannot think of a policy outcome more important than protecting the lives of American citizens.”
And forecasters predict that the rain will still be falling daily in those areas by Sunday. In just the first three days of this month, the South East had received 32% of the long-term average rainfall for February, the EA said. South West England and South Wales have faced 50% more rainfall than is usual for January, with rain every day of the year so far. A yellow rain warning is in force for the West Midlands, and parts of the south of England and Wales, running until 9pm on Friday.

The Trump administration is trying to supercharge the race to dominate artificial intelligence by fast-tracking federal permits for data centers, but some local homeowners are raising concerns. Six people in Sarasota and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, are dead in what police say is a cross-state murder spree by the same suspect Wednesday morning. “It’s been a refresher for more than 300 million people,” he said. Ultimately, the legal system will be responsible for determining whether and to what extent various parties violated the law through their actions in Minnesota. The group included people charged with conspiring to storm a reproductive health clinic in Washington in October 2020.

Russia’s bases inside the Arctic Circle outnumber NATO’s by about a third, according to data compiled by the International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Reuters news agency in 2022. “Standing in the way of the U.S. president’s historic breakthrough is the stubbornness of Copenhagen and the mock solidarity of intransigent European countries, including so-called friends of America, Britain and France,” the paper said. In late January, an article in Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s official newspaper, asked whether diplomatic differences over Greenland would spell the end of NATO, which Moscow opposes. The Trump administration envisions the Golden Dome project, which is inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, as a defense shield consisting of space and ground technology that stretches across Greenland. The treaty’s expiration is one of the reasons why the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists recently set its so-called Doomsday Clock at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to catastrophe.

Days after taking office for the second time, Trump pardoned nearly two dozen anti-abortion activists. Among other actions, the law makes illegal “intentionally injuring, intimidating or interfering with” a person attempting to seek or provide services at a reproductive health facility or place of worship. The Trump administration has also invoked the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act of 1994 in its efforts to prosecute journalists covering the protest. They are “part and parcel of the numerous actions by the Trump administration to curtail press freedom and target disfavored journalists,” she said. Still, the administration’s actions against Lemon and Fort seem “beyond the pale,” said Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute. It would be harder to argue that the journalists had a First Amendment right to report on the church protest if they were found to have been collaborating with the protesters, as federal prosecutors have alleged, Berg said.
